About drones for bridge inspection: Drone inspections are revolutionizing infrastructure management by providing a more efficient, cost-effective, and a safer way to inspect critical infrastructure. Traditional inspections often require shutting down roads, bridges, or other infrastructure for extended periods, which can cause significant disruptions and traffic delays. In contrast, drones can quickly and easily access hard-to-reach areas and provide real-time data without causing major disruptions. Using drones for inspections can also significantly reduce costs associated with infrastructure maintenance. Drones are much cheaper than traditional inspection methods, such as rappelling, bucket trucks or scaffolding, and can cover more ground in less time. By using drones, infrastructure managers can detect issues early and address them before they become more expensive problems.
